Injector Resistor Or Something? Help!

[starscream_r32]

Hey all,

As some may have read from my other threads been having some issues with me car.

I think i have narrowed the issue to some kind of a resistor or something from the injector wiring?

Pics are attached below.

Anyone able to tell me what it is? What it does?

And most important how do i go abouts fixing it?

Will i require brand new wiring for whole of injector plugs or can i get it soldier back on? etc...

Can a mechanic shop fix it or electrical shop?

I believe my injector is not working atm because of this!?

Any information will help! Thanks.

I am guessing its and RB20 motor with low impedance injectors? The part in question is a 10W resistor and there will no doubt be one for each injector. I am guessing someone felt it was easier (and definitely cheaper) to simply buy some resistors from Dick Smith than a dropping resistor pack from a GTR.

Yes, you can buy a replacement from Dick Smiths or Jaycar and wire it in although personally I believe the dropping resistor pack from a GTR is a much neater alternative.

or just buy some high impedence injectors

refer to my tut about gtr injector wiring.

Instead of a resistor ballast, the previous person may have wired individual resistors (if thats what the picture is showing)

[starscream_r32]

yes.. each injector has the white rectangular resistor as in the picture.

because the one pictured is broken.. would that be the cause of my #6 cyclinder not working as the injector wouldn't be squirting?

so what's the best and easiest solution?

Rekin: i had a look at your post.. pardon me being a dumbass.. LOL.. i don't quiet get what needs to be done there! "-_-

thanks guys!

Easiest solution would be to pop down to your local dick smith/jaycar etc and pick up an identical resistor and solder it into place.

Personally i'd track down a gtr resistor pack (can be bought new from Just Jap i think) and replace all the individual resistors with it. It would be a neater and probably more reliable option. Those individual resistors would surely be getting quite warm?

i got the car they way it is now so... i would agree that they would be getting hot but the car has been fine for the time i've had it.. even taken it up to bulla with no probs.

recently i pulled the AAC and Air Reg off to clean and i musta bumped the resistor by accident and musta snapped off.

SILLY QUESTION but how easy/how do you get the wires/plugs out so i can put a new resistor on? can't reach it as it's the last cylinder and down between the plenum or what every you call it and engine.

Provided you buy the correct resistor with appropriate wattage (10W shown in the photo) you should have now problems. I am guessing the resistor is a 12ohm, 10W resistor. Best to check the resistance on one of the other resistors or simply take it to Dick Smith and ask them to give you the same item.

If it is the standard plug you will need to get a screw driver on the metal spring retaining clip and gently lever it up to release the plug.
